How to dismantle what you can't leave behind

[BANZAI]

I've never been a big fan of All that you can't leave behind, but there are a few very good songs on that album.

How to dismantle is in my opinion the album ATYCLB should have been. Most - not all - songs are very very good.

I think a mix of both albums would have been THE MASTERPIECE. (Of course: some songs can't be mixed together like Kite en Sometimes because they both deal with Bono's dad)


1. Beautiful Day
2. Vertigo
3. Original of the Species
4. City of Blinding Lights
5. Kite
6. Miracle Drug
7. Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own
8. When I Look At The World
9. Crumbs From Your Table
10. Walk On
11. Yahweh


So what do you think?!

(Of course: some songs can't be mixed together like Kite en Sometimes because they both deal with Bono's dad)

Kite had nothing to do with Bono's dad until after the fact.

Kite was originally written about the relationship between he and his children.

 

[U2Man]

I think that if I were allowed to pick songs from all of U2's albums, I could make a true masterpiece.

 

[Achtung_Bebe]

I think that "How to Dismantle an Atomic Behind" would be a better title

my initial reaction to your tracklist: add Fast Cars... and Love and Peace (primarily for its live performance).

 

[bono_man2002]

I think that "How to Dismantle an Atomic Behind" would be a better title

 

[doubleU]

1. Beautiful Day
2. Vertigo
3. Original of the Species

That's an extremely akward transition.

That's more akward than the WOWY to BTBS transition.

How To Dismantle What You Can’t Leave Behind (The Singles)

1. Vertigo
2. Electrical Storm
3. Sometimes You Can’t (Single Version)
4. Beautiful Day
5. Stuck In A Moment (Acoustic Version)
6. Original Of The Species (Single Version)
7. Walk On (Single Version w/ Hallelujahs)
8. City Of Blinding Lights (Single Version)
9. Elevation (Tomb Raider Version)
10. All Because Of You (Single Version)
11. Yahweh

Not to say that the released Singles represent the best material. Just an different look at the last two albums.

Actually, an interesting track order here – from fear, turmoil, woundedness, despair to hope, joy, appreciation, praise, love. From a solitary, self-absorbed, isolation, self-destructive to being a reconciled, reunited, committed, loving, spouse / parent / child of God.

 

[edmerch1984]

Sorry guys but I think that ATYCLB is an excellant album. I feel that all the tracks are brill apart from the following GOOD songs

grace
ground beneath her feet
wild honey

I agree that HTDAAB is a better album.

It has only one weak track in my opion man and woman (which again is still a good song)

 

[Catman]

I find your lack of "One Step Closer" disturbing...

 

[SleepyDeadMan]

Here's what I came up with:

1 vertigo
2 beautiful day
3 love and peace or else
4 crumbs from your table
5 walk on
6 kite
7 all because of you
8 original of the species
9 sometimes you can't make it own your own
10 when I look at the world
11 new york
12 yahweh

 

[cf]

vertigo
beautiful day
orginal of the species (single)
stuck in a moment

[ntalwar]

Kite had nothing to do with Bono's dad until after the fact.

Kite was originally written about the relationship between he and his children.

I think it's open to debate.
He did say (after Bob's death) "This is a song I wrote for him."
Close enough for me.

(Of course: some songs can't be mixed together like Kite en Sometimes because they both deal with Bono's dad)

There's nothing wrong with two songs about the same subject.
Pride (In The Name Of Love) and MLK work quite nicely.

So what do you think?!

Yuk! No offense but I don't think you made a masterpeice here. I don't know. They're all good songs but that running order just does not work for me at all. I don't see much of a connection between the two albums anyways. I know alot of people think they're go hand in hand(even Bono) but for me they're completely different so mixing them would not make sense.

[U2girl]

Beautiful day
Elevation
Levitate
Wild honey
Summer rain
Stuck in a moment
In a little while
Kite
New York
Walk on
Falling at your feet

IMO, ATYCLB was 3 songs and a different track order away from a great album.

 

[U2DMfan]

1-Beautiful Day
2-Native Son
3-All Because Of You (alt)
4-Smile
5-Xanax and Wine
6-City of Blinding Lights
7-Kite
8-Walk On
9-Original of the Species
10-Stateless
11-Crumbs From Your Table
12-Mercy

If it were only one album

 

[bonsai]

Drop Kite In A Little While, Crumbs and add Fast Cars, A Man & A Woman, Stuck In A Moment, Elevation

 

[Axver]

Personally, this is how I would combine the 2000s material to make a great album:

1. Love And Peace Or Else
2. When I Look At The World
3. Crumbs From Your Table
4. One Step Closer
5. City Of Blinding Lights
6. Smile
7. Beautiful Day
8. Kite
9. The Ground Beneath Her Feet
10. Falling At Your Feet
11. Electrical Storm
12. Walk On

(I really wanted to include Fast Cars but I don't think it fits.)

Lead Single:
1. Beautiful Day
2. Summer Rain
3. Flower Child
4. Always

Second Single:
1. Walk On
2, The Hands That Built America
3. Original Of The Species
4. Grace

Third Single:
1. Love And Peace Or Else
2. Xanax And Wine
3. Native Son
4. All Because Of You

Fourth Single:
1. Electrical Storm
2. New York
3. Fast Cars
4. Yahweh

Final Single:
1. City Of Blinding Lights
2. Miracle Drug
3. Stateless
4. Levitate

(Five quality singles with three original b-sides each? What a nice dream ...)

I think it's open to debate.
He did say (after Bob's death) "This is a song I wrote for him."
Close enough for me.

Emphasis on "after Bob's death". Bono stated he initially wrote the song about his own children but when his father died, it took on a whole new dimension. I don't think there's too much debate there.

[Galeongirl]

just a little fyi for banzai and ntalwar
Bono wrote Kite for his kids, and claimed, after Bob died, that he now feels like Bob wrote it for him instead..
hope that solves the mystery..
